Hello everyone,
My name is Michael and i just got a telescope for christmas about 6 hours ago, just put it together and used it, after about 10 mins trying to find a star that i randomly selected that i could see from the backyard i managed to see it.
Telescope is: Celestron 70AZ Telescope
Im using the 20mm eye piece that came with it.
I am located in the western suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.
I basically have no idea what im doing, i managed to see the star by pure luck and after 10 mins and about 10 mozzy bites i decided to come in for the night
I find the red dot on it is difficult to use, read the instruction manual but find the red dot really hard to use, book says keep both eyes open and look through it but i was struggling to line up the star.
Any pointers or advise ? The telescope i have is it a good entry level one or is it too advanced for a noobie like me ?
Im very keen to see stuff but ill wait to tomorrow after i buy some decent aeroguard lol
Thanks in advance.
Michael
